SPANAWAY, Wash. — Police released an image of a man they say threatened an employee with knife at the Spanaway Walmart and then fled with stolen items.
It happened at 4:40 a.m. on Aug. 31 when the man entered the employee-only back room at the store. When an employee confronted the man, the suspect pulled out a knife and then left the store with merchandise, according to deputies.
The man is described as white, in his late 20s, about 6-feet tall, 180 pounds with light brown hair and a beard.
Anyone who recognizes the man is asked to call the Pierce County Sheriff's Department.
